Unfortunately no.

For what it's worth, these two children:

root     31606  0.0  0.4 26724 1140 ?        S    Jul06   0:00 spamd child
root     31607  0.0  0.4 26428 1056 ?        S    Jul06   0:00 spamd child

had to be killed off manually.  'killproc spamd' didn't take care off 
them, but it did take care of the defunct processes.

I'm guessing that when the two children became zombies and the new 
children were created they were never kept track of (why I don't know), 
but did make spamd happy about the number of idle child processes.  It 
almost sounds like spamd mixed up the PIDs of the new and zombie children.

I'm hoping that this happens to someone when RC1 is released since I 
can't reproduce it -- even under insane load.
